“…In studies that focused on the attitudes of students who intend to become health care workers towards mental health conditions, it was seen that students accept depression as a disease and have a positive perspective towards the phenomenon of depression, such as the study conducted on pharmacy students in Saudi Arabia [38]. However, in other studies, students reported negative attitudes [39,40].…”
The prevalence of depression and anxiety has increased day by day. Prejudice, self-stigma, and public stigma, on the other hand, continue to prevent patients from seeking adequate treatment, particularly in traditional communities. In this web-based, cross-sectional study, both the presence of depression and anxiety, and the knowledge, attitude, and awareness of first- and fifth (final)-year pharmacy students were examined via an online survey. The aim was to demonstrate the potential impact of public information and five years of pharmacy school on knowledge, attitude, and awareness. Our study population consisted of first- and fifth-year pharmacy students enrolled in one faculty of pharmacy during the spring semester of 2022–2023. The Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Scale were utilized to measure the presence of depression and anxiety, while the Depression and Antidepressant Awareness and Knowledge Scale (DAKAS) was applied to assess their knowledge, attitude, and awareness. Fifth-year participants (n = 101) exhibited noticeably fewer stigmatizing attitudes than first-year participants (n = 104) (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the mean Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety scores in first- and fifth-year pharmacy students. Being in the fifth class (OR: 3.690; p = 0.025), being of female gender (OR: 4.653; p < 0.001), and having a relationship with someone who took a psychotropic (OR: 3.060; p = 0.008) were associated with a lower overall stigma score by multiple linear regression analysis. The students’ awareness of antidepressants and familiarity with mental health issues at the end of their pharmacy education were higher and stigmatization behavior was lower than in first-year students. The positive attitudes at the end of their training towards depression will reduce the likelihood of future pharmacists’ patients from being exposed to stigmatization, prevents the formation of an additional stress factor, and likely will improve pharmacy practices.

“…Participants with incomplete information or who did not agree to participate in the study were excluded from the study. A questionnaire consisting of demographic data such as gender, age, tenure, education, titles, information on euthanasia, and Attitudes towards Euthanasia, Death, and the Terminally Patient (EDTP) was distributed to the participants [10]. The questionnaires that were withdrawn from the participants and that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed by hiding the identity of the participants.…”

“…It consists of 31 questions answered with a 4-point Likert scale. Questions 3,6,7,8,10,12,13,15,16,17,20,23,24,27 in the scale are reverse scored. The 5-factor analysis specified in the study published by Şenol et al in 1996 was carried out [11].…”
<b>Aim: </b>The use of the right to die in the center of the individual's own decision is called euthanasia. This decision, was evaluated from legal, religious, and medical perspectives. In different countries applied euthanasia, which can be performed actively or passively. In our study, we planned to investigate the perspectives of healthcare professionals working in the emergency department about euthanasia and their thoughts on diseases that can be applied to euthanasia.<br />
<b>Material and methods: </b>A survey was conducted from June to October 2022 on non-physician health workers working in the Emergency department. A questionnaire including demographic data, professional knowledge, and Attitude Scale towards Euthanasia, Death, and the Terminally Patient was administered to the healthcare professionals who agreed to participate in the study. The obtained data were analyzed.<br />
<b>Results</b>: In the study, the feedback of 60 participants, 37 of whom were women, was evaluated. The mean age of the entrants was found to be 39.07±10.11 years. 60% of the participants had received cardiopulmonary resuscitation training in the past year. 70% of the participants stated that they could be euthanized for coma, 38.33% for severe disability, and 36.67% for severe and incurable neurological diseases.<br />
<b>Conclusion</b>: In the process of euthanasia, which does not have a legal infrastructure in our country, different perspectives are seen from different departments of health services.<br />
<b>Key words:</b> emergency department, euthanasia, non-health workers

“…The Nurse Information Form, End-of-Life Care Attitudes and Behaviors Scale (EACAS) of Intensive Care Nurses, and Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) were used to collect the data. The Nurse Information Form was created by the researchers in line with the literature to obtain sociodemographic information about nurses (Can et al, 2020;Erzincanlı & Kasar, 2022;Keskin-Kızıltepe & Kurtgöz, 2022;Özel-Yalçınkaya, 2016;Selvi, 2019). This form includes questions about the participants' age, gender, marital status, education level, unit of employment, years of employment, and their thoughts on death and end-of-life care.…”
Aims: This study was conducted to determine the attitudes and behaviors of intensive care nurses towards end-of-life care and their psychological well-being levels.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted using a face-to-face interview technique with 101 nurses working at Aksaray
University Training and Research Hospital between March and July 2023. Data were collected using the Nurse Introductory
Information Form, Intensive Care Nurses’ Attitudes and Behaviors Towards End-of-Life Care Scale, and Psychological WellBeing Scale. The relationship between the variables was investigated with the Spearman correlation test.
Results: It was determined that 74.3% of the nurses were women, 60.4% were single, and 61.4% had worked in the profession for 1-5 years. It was determined that nurses’ attitudes and behaviors towards end-of-life care scale scores showed a significant difference depending on whether they received information about end-of-life care and that there was a significant difference between the psychological well-being scale score and satisfaction with the department they worked in (p<0.05). There is a moderate and positive relationship between the behavioral scale and the psychological well-being scale mean scores (r=0.368, p<0.001).
Conclusion: The study found that as nurses’ attitudes and behavior levels towards end-of-life care increased their psychological well-being levels also increased. It is recommended that nurses evaluate their psychological well-being and quality of life within the scope of holistic care and that studies be carried out to provide training and consulting services to nurses in this direction.
